ocietal grand challenges are global, yet management scholarship is dominated by the minority world. Tackling grand challenges requires changing – and decolonizing – our scholarship. In this article, we highlight four approaches toward inclusive research partnerships that are collaborative across the minority and majority world: we suggest a movement from ignorance through awareness and integration, and finally toward elevation, and present illustrative examples from three practical cases moving in this direction. We conclude by discussing challenges and pathways toward a decolonial management scholarship that engages inclusively with societal grand challenges.
